Well, here's my take on that....if it's on SALE, then all bets are off and buy, buy, buy....as you won't see it at that price again. Prices are going up every day, I just can't believe what started out as a 'frugal' artistic hobby for most, has skyrocketed in price. Long gone are the old 'feedsack days' where our grandmothers got the feedsacks for free, saved them up, and then they made them into quilts! So if you can get good quilt quality fabric on sale, then go for it!
Now that being said, once you have a good stash built up, then you've got to be true to our grandmothers, and use it up!
Kind Regards,
